Saturday 12th January 08

Quite a good lie-in, and Gill gave the boys porridge for breakfast which they seemed to enjoy as they were very quiet afterwards...Got up at 10 ish and rang a CRAG friend David who has been collecting biodegradables since mid December for me, and we agreed to meet at the lottie and I put a layer of very manky stuff on top of the woody bramble stems... then did some compost moving, chatted to another alltotmenteer and cut back another load of brambles which are invading.

Got back home at about 1pm, family gone into town to spend book vouchers.

A hard-working afternoon too, but in the evening we watched a funny film called 'Shallow Hal' which we enjoyed, and played Scrabble.
